Embodiment Construction

[0025] The principles and operation of a method and an apparatus according to the present invention may be better understood with reference to the drawings and the accompanying description, it being understood that these drawings are given for illustrative purposes only and are not meant to be limiting.

[0026] Referring now to FIG. 1, an exemplary block diagram of a debugger 100, constructed in accordance with the present invention is shown. Debugger 100 includes an integrated development environment (IDE) interface 110 for interfacing with an IDE tool 180, a debug engine 120, a Java debugger interface (JDI) 130, a convert engine 140, an expressions evaluator 150 and a debug information repository 160. IDE interface 110 receives a plurality of debugging commands issued by the user of IDE tool 180, and replies back with the debugging results. The debugging commands include, but are not limited to: setting a breakpoint, moving to the next step, evaluating expressions, showing stack fr...

Abstract

A debugger and method for debugging computer programs across multiple programming languages are provided. The debugging is performed at a source level of a computer program written in any programming language supported by the .Net® platform, while the program is executed over a Java runtime environment. The debugger disclosed provides a call stack display and an expression evaluator. Furthermore, the debugger allows software developers to step through Java source code and follow the execution flow of the Java program. One exemplary embodiment of the disclosed debugger is an extension of the Microsoft® Visual Studio .Net®.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates generally to debuggers and methods for debugging computer programs, and more particularly to a debugger and a method for debugging computer programs across multiple programming languages. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The Microsoft.Net® framework is a new platform for building integrated, service-oriented, applications to meet the needs of today's and future Internet businesses. The .Net platform allows developers to take better advantage of technologies than any earlier Microsoft® platform. A .Net® application can be executed on any platform that supports the .Net® common language runtime (CLR). It is further possible that a version of the CLR be built for platforms other than Windows. The .Net® platform allows different programming languages to be integrated with one another. For example, it is possible to create a class in C++ that is derived from a class implemented in Visual Basic. The programming languages suppor...
